Harry Potter: The Age of Magic

Chapter 272 Update

Author: Sissi who listens to stories

In the living room, Rosie was sitting on the sofa with a tea cup, taking big sips to replenish water.

Although more than ten minutes had passed, her muscles were still a little swollen and painful.

"The game has been updated again?"

She originally thought that her state just now triggered the protection mechanism of the game cabin, so she was forced to quit the game, but according to Jiang Jing, that was not the case at all.

"Yes, when we came out of the dungeon, the game issued an update announcement."

Having said this, Jiang Jing raised his eyes to look at her, and said with a low smile, "There is another update specifically for you in this update."

"Update specifically for me?"

Looking from the tea cup to Jiang Jing's face, Rossi asked doubtfully, "What's updated?"

At that time, all she heard in her ears were ethereal and strange sounds, and she didn't even notice the sound of the system.

Jiang Jing stopped laughing, held up the phone and read seriously:

“In order to allow players to better integrate into the game and experience a more realistic magical world, the following changes will be made after this update:

1. Change the health value and magic value to hidden attributes, and change the explorer identity skill "Advanced Detection" to weakness detection. Players are asked to explore other skill changes on their own.

2. Cancel the information display above the heads of players and NPCs.

3. Cancel the loading space when switching maps.

4. Add a spirit world scene. After death, players can choose to wait in the spirit world to be resurrected.

5. It is prohibited to disclose relevant information about the real world to NPCs, and it is prohibited to disclose information inside and outside the copy to NPCs."

Ha? That’s all. If you can’t see the health value, how can my Avatar chew the big melon be effective? Just rely on feeling?

The spirit world scene was added because we triggered the spirit world in the dungeon?

And this fifth article, this is clearly a warning to me! No wonder Jiang Jinghui said it was an update specifically for me.

After hearing what he said, Rossi couldn't help but raise his hand to touch his forehead to express embarrassment, but then asked:

"It only said it was prohibited? It didn't say what the punishment would be if it was committed?"

"No."

Jiang Jing put his phone on the coffee table and leaned lightly on the sofa, "But in this case, no matter how serious the punishment is, the player will have to admit defeat."

Having said this, he looked over again with a serious expression, and his tone seemed to be warning:

"Death, demotion, and even deletion of the character are all possible."

"Isn't that true?"

Turning his eyes slightly, Rossi retorted in a low voice, "Players can accept death or downgrade, but directly deleting the character, won't this cause dissatisfaction among players?"

"What's the use of being dissatisfied?"

He smiled and shook his head, "I can't find the operating company, so I can't find a way to complain."

"Well...that's true."

Rossi echoed with a slight smile.

…

This time the game update took eighteen hours. Taking advantage of their free time, Rosie and Jiang Jing spent most of the day shopping in the supermarket, filling the almost empty refrigerator with snacks and fruits.

While she was happily preparing dinner, her phone suddenly rang.

She picked it up and took a look, but it was Lu Yi from the 7th Brigade of the Supervision Office who had left her a business card before.

Confused, he answered the phone:

"Hello~ Hello, there is..."

The other party interrupted her with a heavy tone and asked directly: "Rosie, are you at home?"

"Here, what's wrong?"

"Wait at home, I'm on the way, I'll be there in five minutes!"

"ha?"

Beep...beep...

Bye?

Rosie put down the phone in surprise. Rosie was even more puzzled. Why did he come to me again? What happened? He seemed to be in a hurry...

"who is it?"

Jiang Jingjiang, who was washing vegetables at the side, put down the plastic basin for draining water and asked with searching eyes, "Want to see you?"

"It's the people from the supervision station. They said they'll be here in five minutes."

She whispered back, slowly relaxed her frown, and then briefly told Jiang Jing what happened before.

"Where is the supervisor investigating this game?"

After hearing what she said, Jiang Jing raised his hand and pushed down the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Is there something wrong with this game? It shouldn't be. If this is the case, then it shouldn't be continuing to operate!"

"He didn't tell me anything, but from the last words he muttered, 'It's growing,' I guessed that the person controlling the game behind the scenes might be a wild artificial intelligence."

Rosie said with a smile while chopping vegetables.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the house.

That arrives so fast?

I looked at the time and saw it was a minute faster than what he said.

Looking at each other with Jiang Jing, Rossi quickly walked to the door, turned the handle and pulled it gently.

Outside the door was Lu Yi. He was panting and holding on to the door frame, his expression looking very serious.

"You know a female player whose nickname is Aisha, right?"

Without waiting for Rossi to speak, he asked bluntly.

Aisha?

Hearing this name from his mouth, Rosie suddenly had an ominous premonition and her heart skipped a beat.

He nodded slightly and looked at Lu Yi in surprise:

"So I know. I met her in a copy of the game not long ago. What happened to her?"

"She's dead."

When he said this, Lu Yi looked at Rossi with eyes full of scrutiny.

"Ah? She's dead?!"

The bad premonition came true. Rossi exclaimed in disbelief, and his mind went blank for an instant.

Isn’t that just a game? There are so many virtual reality games, so why would someone die just by playing a game?

At this time, Jiang Jing, who was standing behind her, shrank his pupils and asked in a deep voice:

"How did you die?"

Upon hearing his question, Lu Yi immediately moved his eyes to his face and said in a stern tone:

"This is what I want to investigate too!"

As soon as his words came out, the atmosphere instantly became tense.

A few seconds later, Rossi, who was distracted by his thoughts, came to his senses, gently pulled Jiang Jing who was looking at Lu Yi, and then said to Lu Yi:

"Let's talk inside the house, you're not taking us for interrogation."

Walking back to the living room, Jiang Jing and Rossi sat on the sofa side by side, while Lu Yi sat alone on the chair opposite.

"What's going on? What's wrong with that game?"

Rossi asked with searching eyes, "Since a murder occurred and you came to me again, we should have an honest talk, right?"

"A month after the game appeared, we noticed something unusual."

After pondering for a moment, Lu Yi finally said with a wry smile, "As you said before, this game is too mysterious, and even we can't find any useful information.

Not only that, we can't even block it. Not only can the network port not be blocked, but the bank's currency exchange interface cannot be disconnected. You may not understand that in this era, this is almost impossible to happen."

"In order to investigate the situation of this game, we used the bank's fund entry and exit information to find some players at that time."

At this point, the expression on his face became a little heavy, "Those players all died suddenly due to cardiac arrest twenty-four hours after the game was banned."

Will you die suddenly after not playing games for 24 hours?

Looking at Jiang Jing, Rossi's heart suddenly sank.
